Black Dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Dark is a twisted dragon: Before coming to Kaini's clan, he lived with smooth talking kings that always got what they wanted. They cheated and lied—even with each other, and had no shame about it whatsoever. Dark learned from the best—eventually coming to the conclusion that humans were irresponsible and a danger to themselves and all dragons. He tried to take matters into his own hands; he staged a takeover of the castle where he lived, rallying the other dragons to his cause. The humans were of course, outraged- but so lazy and absorbed in their own worlds they were caught completely off guard. They were quickly confined to their rooms by the rebellious dragons, unaware of what was to come. The king was confined to his own lavish room as well—in a days time power had completely shifted to the Dark dragon. He later confronted King Jangor, only to have the man attack him immediately. There was a scuffle—the end result of which the dragon accidentally killed the human king.
